I have been facing a run time error 1004 ("Cannot change part of a merge cell") when I am to run the following code. I have some merged cells in my excel sheet.
Sub Save2013()Sheets("Invoice").Range("I25:I33").ClearContents
Sheets("Invoice").Range("K25:K33").ClearContents
Sheets("Invoice").Range("K15:M19").ClearContents
Sheets("Invoice").Range("E15:G17").ClearContents
Sheets("String").Range("I58:J58").ClearContents
Sheets("Invoice").Range("T14:V1419").ClearContents
ActiveWorkbook.SaveEnd Sub
I can select the merged cell, right click and ClearContents with no problem. But VB aborts with message "Cannot change part of a merged cell".
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a merged cell which runs across a multiple columns (but a single row). i would like to insert a column in the middle of this merged cell, but whenever i click on the column header to insert a column, the entire merged range is selected.
is there a way to change the excel setting to avoid this?
In Excell 2000, when you enter a cell by using either the cursor keys or the enter key, the contents of that cell are selected. Typing anything other than the 'F2' key deletes the current entry in the cell, replacing it with what you are typing. This is not the same as double clicking on a cell whereby the cell does not have any of it's contents selected so that when you type the keys are inserted at the cursor position
Is there any way in which this behaviour can be changed so that the first and subsequent characters typed after entering the cell are added to the end of the current contents of the cell ?
Perhaps a bit cryptic but here is where I'm looking for.
Cell A1 gets the value YES (or NO) assignment by the user.
Cell B1 has some calculated value let's say 4 based on the formula If(A1="YES";2+2)
Now If the user assigns "NO" to A1 the value of Cell B1 becomes FALSE (return value of second part of the If statement)
I do not want the value of B1 changed if A1=NO and to stay the same (4)

This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized.
I'm working on a macro to change the color of the row between column W to AN if in column K the value is "FCA" (without quotes).
So far I have this, but it doesn't work:
Code:
Sub Test()
For Each cell In Range("K1", Cells(Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp))
If InStr(1, cell, "FCA") Then
Range("W" & cell.Row & ":AN" & cell.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next cell

How to change part of an array value?.If i try to change array value "Microsoft Excel" popups a dialog stating "You cannot change part of an array."
Somebody have mention to use "Ctrl+Shift+Enter" but this will change entire array value.So I need a change only a specific cell value.
I need for it do perform the same action on multiple rows/ cells of data. What adjustment to the code needs to be performed to do so?
Sub fconcat()
Range("C1").Value = Range("A1").Value & Range("B1").Value
For i = 1 To Range("A1").Characters.Count
Range("C1").Characters(i, 1).Font.Name = Range("A1").Characters(i, 1).Font.Name
Next
For i = 1 To Range("B1").Characters.Count
Range("C1").Characters(Range("A1").Characters.Count + i, 1).Font.Name = Range("B1").Characters(i, 1).Font.Name
Next
End Sub

I Want users to be able to copy a reference number from a an external program into excel, this works well for single cells but the cell I want them to be able to paste the information into is a merged cell and keep getting the "Data on the clipboard is not the same size and shape blah blah error". What I can do to get this information to paste? Is there some VBA that can kinda trick the cell to believe its single or when pasting it unmerges and then remerges again?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe issue that I am having is with merged cell data. What I am trying to do is check the value of the merged cell against a selection from an array and place the value into a cell.
What apparently occurs is that if the row that I am on is an even number (being as my rows start on an odd number); the reference returns empty. I have tested to confirm that this only affects even numbered rows. My spread sheet has a 2 row merged cell in column 2, and the cell I am referencing from is on the second row of that merged cell. Here is some
I am working on an FMEA and have a slight issue.
I have a number of merged cells in Column B.
I have merged 30 rows of column B to one Failure mode let's say 'Gaps'.
In column C there are 30 individual items relating to gaps.
When I want to filter column B to look at Gaps, it only returns the first row of the merged cells. So instead of getting the entire merged cells as a result of my filter, I get 1 row.
I hope this is clear. My question is, is there a method of filtering so that the whole merged cell is returned?

How to add a watermark to the sheet on each tab. Now when the script is called it stops and give the following errors:
Run-time error '1004': cannot change part of a merged cell.
I searched for merged cells in the document and as far as the script is concerned there are none, other than maybe this new watermark.
So, does VBA or scripting think that a watermark is a merged cell?
Any workaround if it does think of it as being merged?
Here is the current script we are using:

Is there any quick and easy way to unmerge merged cells and put the merged cell value in all the merged cells. For example, if I have A6:A15 merged together and its value is "FirstMerge" then I would like to unmerge all A6:A15 and then put "FirstMerge" in all the cell A6,A7,A8 etc. etc. upt oA15. I have lot of these merged cells in a sheet and I get this every month and makes any data processing very difficult. A macro or VBA code or any other solution will be fine.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI feel like I have lost some functionality due to merged cells. For a worksheet change event I have the following:
ElseIf Target.Value = "" Then ... blah blah blah
For a normal cell, every time a cell is deleted (in the appropriate target zone) then it runs the code I have in the subsequent lines
Except it doesn't work for merged cells, unless I manually go into the cell, backspace all of its contents and then press enter
Is there a way to automate the resizing of a row to accomodate the text that is pulled into a cell as the result of a formula?
I have a merged cell which receives the result of a DGET formula. The result can be as few as 6 lines of text or as many as 24 lines.
I suspect I need to count the number of lines in the result and resize based on that count multiplied by 15 points.
I don't know how to write the VBA but it would be kind of Resize Row.Countlines x 15 pts. and be executed by the event of calculating the formula from its default setting.
Practically speaking, the default setting is sized per the result of the desired code: there is a blank formatted merged cell that can be manually overwritten that is sized by the typical number of bullet points.
I have many columns in my current spreadsheet but I have two columns that I want to split in to two project names.
Currently I have one column with: Project A/Project B And the second column with the total cost of Project A AND Project B combined
The thing is that I can easily just create a new line but that would mean all the data in the other Cells remain the same and the only two that will be different are the above two columns. I will be maintaining alot of rows so I was hoping I do not have to create two rows for every new item then to merge both rows in reach column every time I have to put in a new Item.
I am hoping to have for example the below
Name Comments Project Cost
-------------------------------------------------
Item 1 This item relates Project A $150
to upgrade of Project B $120
SAS system
----------------------------------------------------
Currently I have it as
Name Comments Project Cost
-------------------------------------------------
Item 1 This item relates Project A/B $270
to upgrade of
SAS system
---------------------------------------------------
I'm using Office 2007 professional and I'm trying to format a cell (merged cell) so that when you enter text and it goes beyond the size of the designed cell that it will automatically continue and shift the additional text downward, like a paragraph. Also it shift everything below down with it. Is this possible? I have already tried wrap text field and AutoFit row height. This keeps it within the cell but it is not visible or printable once you tab out. I would like to have it continue like in a paragraph. Like a word doc may do. It’s visible and it shifts everything below downward as it grows, which also allows it to be printable.

I would now like to create a formula in each cell in row 1 that will return the date in the corresponding cell in row 3. E.g. A1:C1 will each have the date in merged range A3:C3, etc. The merged ranges in row 3 may not all be three columns wide so any way to extract the dates to row 1.
